Lower crime rate here in the Philippines because of War on Drugs

@dhoyalahoy so what exactly is your point that you want to bring up?

@louievill I just answer your last part. Let the people decide (cast opinion)

Let's be fair in seeing the situation. Yes you are right. We can't deny that there are decisions that make us puzzle. like the islands territory, tho it's hard to war against China still what we can do is to protest. No one can fight for us. US? Are they willing to die for us? No nations are willing to die for us. Laws for people have been passed and we enjoy the benefits. About the EJK, the abusive policemen are the responsible for that.

Too true. I too am glad that we're working with computers and the web now. We can only get proper news from limited sources. Even though verifying them takes a bit of time, I'd rather have this than stay in the dark and be used in someone's political agenda because of my ignorance. I've also noticed that the mainstream media usually ask stupid questions. That's why I stopped even watching them unless I really have to view them just for the sake of verifying stuff.

Good for you. Sometimes it's wiser to keep one's silence than speaking about something one has no full-hand knowledge about, because most of the time small to little information is misinformation. And misinformation is more often than not dangerous in times like these.

@SinfulRose I agree. I am not into politics in the first place. As much as possible, I will not involve into something.

@SinfulRose Thank you for understanding. I am just going to be watchful and hope for the best in our country. One thing for sure, I don't like our president.

I don't see anything that says "conquering a nation" here. But let's go with that thought. The President is quite popular among his constituents because of his ability to take responsibility and take seriously his position in government--even when he was still a mayor. That means, he's a man of his word--unlike the common politicians Philippines unfortunately had in the past. He doesn't think lightly of the oath he had taken when he took his government position. And he had a very good track record. And that's why the people themselves came down to Davao City, in the heart of Mindanao--a place of constant wars and conflicts, and asked this guy to run for President for years. And when I say the people, I mean also the OFWs. They woed this guy and kept at it even when they a lot of "no" from him. There's just this small group of people (who have money and other types of monetary resources) who wants to keep themselves safe from the law and escape the fate of taking responsibility for their incompetence. Because this guy, the once mayor--now president--was a lawyer and prosecutor and he's hellbent at upholding the law. That means going after those people who made Philippines experience those horrors in the past, where the innocents and law abiding citizens are placed in danger because criminals are hovering the streets even in broad daylight--upholding same laws in the present and the future. And thus, this small group of people wants this guy out of the picture because they know they did something they shouldn't. And what they're doing now is destroying his image in the local and international communities, not to mention killing their people below and saying it's all EJK--thus also hoping to destroy the good things that this guy had done so far... And they want people to love them again? Am I getting it right? :)

@SinfulRose Absolutely right. No changes if corrupt people say no. They will fight till they get back the power.
